Traveler reviews
Dead sea
Our tour guide was great. Dead sea was exciting. Masada was fantastic! Amazing how history unfolded for these poor Jews back in the day.
Amazing excursion
Dima is a funny guy with a lot of knowledge about the area. He wouldn't leave anyone behind. Very good experience. I recommend this excursion and it was way cheaper compared to the cruise excursions
Spicy but unforgettable excursion
The trip was super well arranged. We did this trip from our cruise terminal. Here the bus was waiting and waited very neatly until the last Cruise Customer was present. Because of this we left a bit later but is therefore reliable for booking this excursion. There was also contact in advance via the whats app to Let them know they're expecting us. So direct contact was possible, if necessary on the day of departure of the excursion. We had Eli as a guide, and did a great job. Friendly and competent guide who could tell nicely. After he knew it was our son's birthday, he started singing to him and made a connection with him every time during the trip. This made him feel special this day. The excursion was tough. The 4 stars are therefore because of the temperature. It was so hot/hot, 45 degrees, that visiting the Moshad and sweat was a trip up, and floating in the dead sea was a cooking momemt. There was nothing the organization could do about this, of course. But because of this it is spicy and you have to make a conscious choice whether you book this trip above 40 degrees. Incidentally, it is doable, but be well prepared. Rub and drink well with water and clothing against heat and footwear to walk on the sand and in the sea. By the way, you're in a great air conditioning bus. So the cooling in between is very welcome.
Beautiful Dead Sea and Masada with great guide Michael
Great excursion from the cruise port. Michael the guide was waiting for us on arrival and was very knowledgeable and professional while presenting the history of the Dead Sea and Masada National park. Highly recommended!
Great time in the Dead Sea and Masada.
We had a great time at Masada and the Dead Sea. Benjamin was a great tour guy. The views were amazing. Loved everything about this tour. Benjamin was very knowledgeable, answered our question, and was very entertaining. Would definitely recommend.
